Fans of *Avatar: The Last Airbender* can look forward to a new movie coming to theaters next year, continuing the story from the original TV series. The creators of the show, Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino, have promised it will be visually stunning. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show’s debut on Nickelodeon, they’ve formed Avatar Studios with Paramount Pictures. This studio will create new animated projects, starting with this upcoming feature film.
The upcoming film, *The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender*, continues the story of the original TV series, showing Aang and his friends as adults. While details are still scarce about the movie – set to release next October – co-creator Bryan Konietzko offered some hints at New York Comic Con 2025 (according to ScreenRant). He emphasized the film will have a visually impressive style, but remained tight-lipped about the plot.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Co-Creator Shares New Movie Update
During the celebration of *Avatar: The Last Airbender*’s 20th anniversary at New York Comic Con 2025, creator Michael Dante DiMartino announced that a feature-length animated film is expected in about a year. The film is being directed by Lauren Montgomery, who previously worked on *Avatar*, along with a talented team. While no footage or details were shared, DiMartino expressed excitement and praised the film’s beauty, stating he’s eager for fans to see it. This announcement is a positive step forward for the project.
I’m seriously blown away by what I’ve seen of the animation in the new *Avatar: The Last Airbender* series! The creators have been teasing it for months, and they’re right – it’s unlike anything else out there. It’s like gorgeous 2D animation brought to life with these incredibly detailed backgrounds. They promised it would be amazing, and honestly, I think it will be! The only thing is, they haven’t said a word about the actual story yet. But, with the release still a year away, that makes total sense – they’re probably keeping everything under wraps for now!
What to Know for The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender
The upcoming movie, *The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender*, has faced some production delays, but is now planned to be released in theaters on October 9, 2026.

The upcoming live-action adaptation of *Avatar: The Last Airbender* will feature Eric Nam as the adult Aang. Joining him are stars like Steven Yeun as Zuko, along with Dave Bautista, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, and Román Zaragoza.
